Business Postcards

[theladyrebecca]

I'm thinking about creating some business postcards, since I would like to really get into creating costumes to sell to other people, but I don't really know what I should put on them. Thus, if anyone an help me, I'm going to post pictures of what I think are my best projects, and if you can all vote on what should go on there, that would be really helpful. Unfortunately, I don't have about half the costumes with me right now, so I'm not able to retake pictures of any but the 17th c gown, the medieval, the navy ren gown, and the chemise a la reine (and it would involve finding someone to take the pictures, since I know the bathroom mirror ones aren't particularly professional).

The pic of the navy and gold gown next to the water is very pretty! And I think the 17thc would be stunning in a nice setting. (I hear you on the bathroom mirror photos! ;) )

Also gotta give you credit for thinking about selling costumes; I'm far too terrified that I'm actually a crap seamstress to ever entertain that idea! (What self-esteem issues?)

I also am self-taught and learn something new with each project. But I know that I know a lot more than others; and I just put in an application to teach mosaics this summer. Yes, there are many people I look up to as masters of the art, but I'm still willing to put myself out there. "Willing for the shilling."

You are incredibly good. Yes, you can be better, but you are so much better that so many others. Confidence goes a long way. I love the picture of you looking over the water and also the one in the tudor gown. Use Gimp to edit out the black bra.

The picture from the Dickens fair is good, too.

could you start with some non-photo business cards while you are looking for a photographer to do some photos for you?
